Summary

A Canadian parliamentary petition to revoke Elon Musk’s citizenship has gathered over 150,000 signatures.

Launched by author Qualia Reed and sponsored by MP Charlie Angus, the petition accuses Musk of undermining Canada’s sovereignty due to his ties to Trump, who has repeatedly suggested annexing Canada.

Musk is a Canadian citizen through his mother. The petition will be presented to the House of Commons, which resumes on March 24.

    You can also look up a source. It’s real easy these days, with the little supercomputers in all our pockets.

      Some people like to converse with others, we’re not all robots.

        That’s how I feel every time someone makes that stupid remark… if I didn’t want to interact with people, I wouldn’t be online, duh. I especially love being able to ask questions in real-time and verify the answers when it’s important to me.

          For me, it’s not even about the interaction. “Do your own research” is conspiracy ideologists language for “trust me brah” and we should be better than that. Whatever they claim may simply not be true and “look it up yourself” is just a means to waste everybody’s time because there isn’t anything to look up. Not to mention, whoever made the claim should already have at least an idea where they got the claim so why send everybody on a wild goose chase when they can simply link to it?

            I almost always include links, but not always when it’s something I’ve already linked to dozens of times. In that case, I figure if people are interested enough, they’ll want to do their own research… and if they’re not, then I’m not gonna continue wasting my time just because someone wants to argue again.

          Condescending, then gets upset for being called out for it; then doubles down, instead of recognizing the problem is, in fact, being condescending. Which, to recap, you began and then continued.

          Bravo, bravo slow clap. I almost feel like I should expect a shrill cry to speak to the manager or something.

          Lol. If you consider what they said an insult, what you said is certainly one by your own standards. Maybe don’t be shitty to people for no reason if you’re concerned about such things.
